Orienteering is an exciting adventure sport suitable for all ages and fitness levels. It combines map reading and running. Competitors have to find their way between a series of checkpoints, called controls, as quickly as possible. There’s no set route between the controls, so you have to decide which way to go and then find your way there without getting lost.
We offer opportunities to go orienteering at anytime that it is convenient to you.
Permanent courses that have marker posts*, Virtual courses have nothing visible but your phone beeps when you are in the right spot using the Maprun app, and postbox orienteering courses.
* Under review see Home Page information.

In September WE embarked on a new strand of our support within EDUCATION by piloting working with Muirhouse Primary in Motherwell and St.Paul's Primary (Whiteinch).
Two varying approaches are being taken with a view to broadening our approach to empower schools after an initial input from STAG.
STAG's network of permanent courses is currently suspended and a full review is planned for October 2024.
What follows is an outline of what we have delivered and still hope to offer as from July 2024.
Rather than ploughing through our website, just cut to the chase and email us with your questions directly.
In the first week of July, originally 9 venues were identified but by the closing date only 4 had received any interest.
There are numerous reasons why this might be the case but for now lets stick to the positives which were encouraging.
